Apologies.... Pic below of the car in the garage that originally was being finished to house Emira. Current plan is to get a lift and put the Seneca Blue Emira right over this beauty. Emira arriving means I likely start putting more miles on the 911 with the top down here in SoCal! A little...

Would be great for this to be the Sports with Cup2's because if I never had a drive in one and bought Touring I'd always be worried I missed out on knowing if the sportier setup would've been the way to go. I am second on the list for test drive (30-minute intervals from 9:30am-6:30pm for 3...

That looks brilliant! Loving my original Seneca, Lower BP, DC Wheels, Red Calipers and Leather with Red Stripe wheel on FEi4 spec that I’ve been hoping for since day 1!

Bought my 911 C2S Convertible in February and has made the wait a whole lot easier to handle (dare I say I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of this once my number gets called for Emira).......

It's been odd seeing multiple online articles referencing a Base Price starting at $77,100 when the Lotus US site still shows the Base Price starting at $74,900. May sound like it's not a big deal, but while considering an FE i4 and its value vs waiting for base with more color options I'm...

This is likely a gross over-simplification of things but is my summary of the reviews and comments on this thread. 1. Reviewers love how it looks, all of us love how it looks, have we all mentioned it looks amazing and has killer looks that are also functional? 2. The interior looks great (but...

I did email about an October reservation hoping they might have i4’s in the mix and they said they aren’t sure when they actually will. Crossing fingers it might work out but doesn’t feel likely.

Seeing all these makes me so much more comfortable going with Seneca even though it seems to not be as popular in general across the forum. I think that has a lot to do with Seneca fatigue since launch and also the fact that most of us with deposits seem to be looking for that unique...

Thank you that's what I was hoping to hear! Red Leather is still in play then!

Honestly those seats look like a good reason for me to consider alcantara. I never liked leather seats with too large of leather pieces that can easily start to look a bit like the old bean bag chairs I had as a kid. They sag, stretch and there's no recovering from that given what I've seen in...

To be fair, without a car to keep us warm we all do need some t-shirts and hats to keep us warm. The Emira could have its own "Early Deposit Collection" featuring words like "FAITH", "HOPE", and "PATIENCE". When I got the Lotus email this morning I was sure it had to be another useless...

Is there any way to shift my i4 FE deposit to the Type 135? They may be racing to the finish line at this point if 135 is due out in 3 years (unless this is being given in "Lotus Years" which means the Type 135 is due out in 5-7 years).

Couldn't agree more...... any chance they can ship some of that paint to Hethel's fancy new paint shop?! I mean come on LFG!

Follow-Up on my initial post. Today I spoke with Galpin Lotus and got some interesting information. I'm not a fan of being long-winded so prefer bullet points. The dealership has confirmed they will NOT be charging a dealer markup on the V6 FE initial allocation of cars they will be receiving...

Well, the most used word was prototype. Felt mostly like someone that thinks the car is ok but not something that has me now calling every hour to the dealership trying to know how soon mine will (or will not) arrive. 🥱

With pricing will we get another active option on the configurator?! Those of us always set on this i4 FE can't wait to see an interior without that big knob in the middle (sarcasm folks, love me a manual).

Every sports car I’ve considered is compared to the 911. So, last week I finally got my first true sports car which I can enjoy with all 3 of my kids until my i4 FE comes likely by Fall 2085? Manual 2006 Carrera S. Also lost the vote with the kids all wanting a convertible, but turns out they...

That other post was mine so I don't believe now that it's a typo. I get i4 FE for Christmas in LA in 2023? Fine by me!

Blockbuster email I just received from Galpin Lotus in LA. I won't bury the lead here. At the end he states that Lotus has confirmed they will be able to honor ALL 200+ of their orders by Q2 2023 which has me thinking I may have a shot at a V6 FE if I want to move off of having thought about the...

Below is the brief email I sent to my LA dealer and their response. I have always been interested in the i4 and have no problem waiting as long as necessary. Looks like late 2023 at the earliest to see anything with the i4. My email to dealer: I know that Lotus has been focused on the V6 FE...

I fully understand how un-American it is for me to even be considering a little i4 over the V6 or something like a huge, throaty, obnoxious 8-Cylinder fire-spitting C8 but I guess this is a case of me thinking less is more (and growing up my uncle always owned Corvettes and he is a huge d-bag so...

This will be my first sports car purchase and I thought it a unique opportunity to get a true First with this partnership with AMG. I am not a total gearhead but there's something cool about having a British Sports car with AMG power. I'm sure it's controversial to a degree but if I buy a $95k...

New configurator is great, but looks like they're not tipping their hand when it comes to any further development with the seats. Those that went to Hethel referenced seats being much more promising then the quite pedestrian versions shared thus far. Can anyone compare what they were seeing to...

I do understand they have to roll with whatever they've got at this stage, but I didn't put a deposit down on the basis that they'd have a big reveal of a "prototype" but an actual car that I could V6

Took my 6 year-old to the Preview Event on Saturday and it was a mixed bag if I'm being honest. It was really great seeing his reaction to all the cars and a great way to make the Emira buying experience something we share together. Despite any of my criticism below I am still extremely excited...
